Saving Private Ryan is on our list of favorite movies of all time. It is an amazing account of Private Ryan and his journey from D-Day to his discharge. The realism is unspeakable and the excruciating intensity keeps you on the ends of your seat.
World War 2 was a dark time for the entire world. Millions of lives were lost all because some countries sought to better themselves via ruthless imperialism. Saving Private Ryan is known for graphic realism, which betters the movie by far. The first 20 minutes of this film, when they are landing at Normandy, critics say that it is as accurate as Hollywood could have made it. Nothing was sugar coated throughout the entire movie. Everything was shown, even the scene when the German slowly slips a knife into the America soldier while a cowardly American soldier whimpers downstairs, even though he could have come upstairs and saved the Americans life.
It is true that Saving Private Ryan is and incredibly emotional movie, but it is covered and hardened by war. Tom Hanks does a resounding job acting as Captain John Miller. Acting much the same as a courageous captain would have acted during the real war. It is this that puts Saving Private Ryan over the top for me. I do not enjoy movies that simply fake and sugar coat sensitive topics.
Spielberg has done an incredible job in preserving the historical accuracy of Saving Private Ryan. It is the only Hollywood movie that even comes close what conditions were actually like on Omaha beach. Saving Private Ryan is based upon Edward Niland and the sole-survivor policy, which is if a family has multiple relatives die in a conflict; the last survivor will be discharged from the army. We agree with the policy because no family should have to lose children to war, and definitely shouldn’t lose all.
